The Infinix Hot 2 X510 February Marshmallow OTA update (SP flash tool format) is now available

A few days ago, Team Hovatek dropped the ROMDump (SP flash tool format) for the Infinix Hot 2 Android 6 Marshmallow (January 1, 2016) X510-D5110-M-Androidone-20160107 build. The February 1, 2016 build is now available (to upgrade OTA, navigate to Settings > About > System updates) and we have also created a ROMDump for it.

Note: This is not an official firmware from Infinix. Team Hovatek dumped the firmware of our copy of the Infinix Hot 2 X510 which had been successfully upgraded to Marshmallow (Android 6.0) OTA.

Sir, I did not receive the OTA update, even the one i am using now i download it and upgrade via recovery mode. Should I go ahead and do the flashing, I am having infinix flashtool, can i use it, cos it dose not have the option of firmware upgrade on it.

My phone already downloaded the ota update but I want to flash the stock lollipop ROM because my phone is rooted and I don’t have much data to re download the ota update so I want to copy it to my pc so that I can flash it after I have flashed the lollipop ROM. So can you direct me to the folder where I can find the marshmallow ota update file on my phone.

Hello, after flashing the ROMDump with SP flashtool, my phone boots up completely but is stuck at a blank screen and a small scrolling message at the top saying I should input Privacy protection password to unlock. I have never set privacy protection password before. Even so, tapping on the screen does absolutely nothing and I can only use the emergency call function.

I then tried to install the January build with the stock recovery only to get the same problem as above. Please what could be the cause of this? Note that I have successfully flashed marshmallow on the phone on previous occasions but had to revert to lollipop for some reasons. Please help.

Good morning sir, I recently installed the March OTA security update on my infinix hot 2 (x510) and virtually all observed bugs seemed to have disappeared. Now, I have been trying to get MTK Droid tools to recognize my phone so I can ROM Dump but without success. Other phones have been recognised including my HTC One X. Is there any fix to this? Pardon me if I posted on th e wrong forum.

Thanks for your prompt response. I’m well aware of the guide above. The problem is that it requires the use of MTK Droid tools to create scatter file as first step. If I can’t create scatter file it will be pointless trying to read back with SP flash tool. Any alternative method to creating scatter file? I’m just wondering how you created your own X510 Dump. Sorry for bothering you though.
